A man was digging in his garden, when his shovel hit a hard object buried
in the earth, which revealed itself to be an old bottle
sealed with a cork. The man wrenched the cork free and, to his astonishment,
there was a cloud of smoke and a clap of
thunder. Standing before him was a genie. 'As a reward for freeing
me, I shall grant you three wishes,' said the genie, 'But
understand, whatever you wish for, your most hated enemy shall receive
twice over.' The man's most hated enemy happened to
be his next door neighbour, Jones. 'Let's see. My first wish is...'
He looked at his weather beaten bungalow, '...to live in a ten
story luxury mansion.' The genie clapped his hands and suddenly his
minute shack transformed into the most beautiful house he
had ever laid eyes on. He heard a cry of astonishment from next door
and looked over to see Jones standing in the doorway of
his new twenty story mansion. 'Now I want fifty of the most beautiful
women imaginable.' said the man. There was a puff of
smoke and his wish was granted. He was annoyed, however, to see Jones
grinning and waving, surrounded by his own harem
of 100 women, all twice as attractive. 'What is your final wish, Master?'
asked the genie' 'I want to lose a testicle.' said the man.
